“The Ghost of Israel’s Future whispers to me nightly in my dreams, oooooooo” lady ain’t doing herself any favors. Centrists need to moderate their extreme positions on Israel-Palestine if they want to be more competitive

Somewhere a university academic is being told to "do more with less" by someone whose job title didn't exist two reorgs ago.

We are young despite the years We are concern, we are hope despite the times

I think Yglesias is basically right that audience capture is an exceptionally powerful force, far more than commonly acknowledged; the problem is that one of the best extent examples of this is Yglesias himself.

Great point Matthew

PIZZA HISTORIAN WATCHING “MYSTIC PIZZA”: I don’t even know where to begin. I would be ashamed to serve these pizzas.

This is doing another round, so I’ll add that like other political posters Schatz used to DM with me but I asked him to stop because I didn’t think he was communicating in good faith. Ultimately, a lot of politicians just tell people what they want to hear until they can’t get away with it anymore.

Centrists always present these takes as savvy "harsh truths" for the left, but they're the most pathetic kind of ignorant, cowardly self-soothing. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The actual harsh truth about MAHA is that it is an anti-vaxx, anti-science, pro-diarrhea conspiracy movement. It cloaks its arguments in abstractions about "big pharma" and "free speech" to generate *the exact op-ed The Atlantic keeps publishing*. Movements like this need to be fought, not placated.

As the piece admits, the second MAHA took power it started gutting basic science, promoting quack treatments and loosening health regulations. *This* is what the movement is. Yet it's up to critics not to conclude or predict anything from these actions and bend over backward to find common cause.

Because in their minds they are not just one part of their larger family: their family is just one part of them.
